What's the PQ like on this edition? The cover art is a abit to be desired imo characters look nothing like the actors in the film (Jeffrey Combs looks more like Kurt Angle on the UK version ) My copy is on the way from Amazon hopefully I get it on my birthday 9th April.

Superb, absolutely beautiful looking and better looking than the MGM DVD, i tell you Shout Factory is an awesome company

Pre-ordered The Walking Dead ssn. 3 collectors edition!!!! If u have not seen it...get it!! Its the govenors head tank. It lights up and u can add water! It comes with 5 heads too...oh yeah and the bluray lol

Maybe a better question -- with NetFlix and Hulu and Vudu and all the other options out there -- is "Why would anyone buy a DVD?" I get the concept of wanting to get a newer film on DVD fast and not wanting to wait for the other delivery systems. But for anything older than six months I'm not sure I get it. I do understand the idea of wanting to build a library and I'm a guy that used to have a complete movie theater room a few houses ago. But nowadays it seems like compiling a lot of DVDs is just clutter in a life I'm trying to unclutter.

As an addendum, don't shed any tears for the entertainment industry. All these new options are simply evolutionary developments in the delivery system and studios get their take from them. After all, remember when everything was on Beta? Wait! No, most of you don't!

I'm far from an earthy/crunchy type, but I will point out that subscription systems are good for our environment as they're electronically delivering entertainment. Try to imagine the landfill mound made up of thirty years of tossed out Beta, VHS, DVD movies and all the packaging that went with them.

I prefer having a physical copy of everything I own. And in that situation, the blu-ray offers the best quality for viewing. I've noticed that the show quality of Netflix and Hulu are sub-par, particularly when watching things like Star Trek or Transformers: Prime.

And yes, I remember Beta, my grandfather used that thing for years to tape things off TV, at least until he upgraded to VHS. LOL

I understand how you feel. I feel exactly the same way when it comes to books. I like to physically hold a book in my hands rather than read it on Kindle or Nook. That said, I'm guessing subscription is the way of the future.

Absolutely right about Beta. Back in the day I had one of the first Betamax VCRs in Chicago. The thing was the size of a card table top. But at the time it was state of the art and considered pretty cool. Used to play (OMG!) PONG on it.
